New Economics - It's all about the collective


We're in a time of collaboration, as opposed to competition.

Partnership model, wikipedia, open source software, youtube, etc. All pointing to a new economic paradigm unfolding.

Yochai Benkler - author of the book "Wealth of Networks" spoke on the matter at the recent TED conference.

The new developments are showing disruptive, and innovative methods of production involving many people are changing fundamental dynamics in the economy.

Wikinomics by Tapscott and Williams & The Starfish and the Spider by Brafman & Beckstrom are key additions to this reading list.

Hey Greg,

You know I totally dig all this and agree collaboration is the key to success as evidenced by our own work together.

You rock L.A. dude!
